I honestly feel like the bass was stronger on the HK in my previous X5 compared with the new one. Everything else sounds great and the bass isn't bad at all. It also could be due to me getting the comfort seats. I think I remember reading there were subs installed in the seats of the old X5. I could be wrong though.

I spent 2k upgrading the base stereo on my f10 only to have wierd vibrations and rattles with every kickdrum or heavy bass. dynamatted the hell out of door panels etc. but couldn't get the rattle out. it sounded fantastic otherwise but annoyed the hell out of me. i am nervous about upgrading my HK. if i do, i will only upgrade the drivers and not install an amp because i don't want another rattle for the sake of tighter bass (volume is fine but its a bit soft now). what i really want is better clarity and imaging which i can get with just front midrange and tweeter upgrade (if i can find a pnp set).

have you turned the bass level up and adjusted the "-100" higher on the equalizer? that improves the bass a lot, and sounds pretty good for a factory stereo.

Simply interesting, why in H&K there is more bass than in B&O? Even butt feel it better.
Despite the fact that in B&O 1200 watts, and in H&K 600. Perhaps this can be solved if to put a subwoofer in the trunk, to B&O system? Or here still matters amplifier, loudspeakers, cuts? |

Although of course in the В&О aslo many disadvantages, beginning from the glamorous design (as for me, to F85 he did not fit at all. It can be saved only by Full Merino Leather, aslo on which i dont have money). , finishing a weak bass. But with regard to high frequencies and clarity, the B&O definitely better. As for the treble, probably it should be added that on B&O there are slight excess of it (perhaps due to the lack of bass) and a slight metal sounding. But in general high frequencies on B&O sounds better due to high clarity which remains crystal-clear even at high volume, on which at H&K they turn into mess.

I have! I also played around with the equalizer many times, still the sound, for an upgraded system on a BMW is short on expectations. For instance, when I get the sound right (volume), it's hard to control it when other people talk and you want to hear them, even when you adjust the speed volume. When you adjust the equalizer for quality of music, the volume need to be turned up so that you can hear the different tones of the music. To me, my older HK system was easier to control and I thought it put out a better sound. My nine speaker Pioneer system in my Cruze sounds as good as my current HK system, plus you can control it better.

I'm bumping this thread since it has been the most useful informstion and review comparing the F15 HK to B/O.
I thought I had sold myself on the B/O, until I went and listened to it. Like others have said, it is lacking in bass. Fairly certain I am going to go with HK now and do a custom enclosure with a 10" W7. |

Does anyone know if the "bass speakers" (as BMW refers to the under seat woofers) are powered by an external dedicated amp? I'm guessing not, which is one of the reasons bass is lacking, and why replacing them with bavaudio ghost woofers might help tighten up the response, but probably won't lower the frequency range much or make a whole lot more bass.

I have heard the B&O system and it doesn't seem "better" than the HK system. It's a different signature. I have driven many cars with the HK system and I prefer it more. Not a fan of the B&O. A friend of mine swears the B&O in this car is better, so each to his own.
That said, I have a Merdian 1700W system in my other car and that one I do like and it was worth every penny. |

Some of the members are going to get the Bavsound Ghost under seat subwoofer speaker replacement. It is due to come to out soon.
Will work with either HK or B&O systems |

We are on track for our original estimate, which was end of November / early December.

They should be shipping later that week -- can't give an exact date simply because shipping volumes / customs / etc. are crazy right now, so it's a little unpredictable, but the best estimate I have is that your order should ship around December 11th. Thanks for the business, and let us know if we can help you in the future. Countdown to incredible bass response! Best, Jake Donato | Bavsound Audio Solutions for Your BMW |
